Off Topic - Grand National

Anyone watching betting on it tomorrow be interested to know who's going with which horse and the price they have.

 

My three are;

Ballabriggs £5 e/w @ 14-1
Chicago Grey £4 e/w @ 18-1
Black Apalachi £3 e/w @ 40-1


Would have had Seabass were it not ridden by a lady, even if that lady is Ruby Walsh's sister. Sexism in sport shock.

 

Nice choices, I have

Synchronised £5 10-1
Vic Venturi £2 66-1
According to Pete £5 25-1

Good luck with yours!

 

Thanks, and you yours.

Was thinking Synchronised, was put off by a few things I won't bore you with!

Not entirely convinced about Ballabriggs but it won for me last year and I drove back home this evening and he was being tipped by a few on the radio and I think I got sucked in by the whole 'it's Ginger MCain all over again, Red Rum won twice in a row, blah blah blah, now maybe his son can do it too' ****.

Yeah, I am a sucker punter really!

 

Synchronised can't jump for one, but at 10-1 i thought i had to go for it.

Your choices are probably better than mine but this race is stupid any horse can get taken out at the start.

I regret not going with Junior.

 

Decent choices, I've gone for these;

Black Apalachi - £5 E/W at 40/1
West End Rocker - £5 E/W at 14/1
Chicago Grey - £6 E/W at 14/1

Good luck fellas

 

I see you both have gone each , I really don't like doing that.

Good luck Drogs

 

How come mate?

 

Wining with quarter odds just doesn't feel like much of a win, am all or nothing me!

 

At least she won't have to reverse or park it or anything...

Not a big horse man myself, much prefer the golf. Golfers may be inconsistent, but horses are just ****ing loopy!

I'm also quite partial to a flutter on the football, but only when betting against scousers

Good luck anyway gents

 

its amazing that everyone is going for 3 choices

 

Haha yeah, you have to have around 3 less than that in this race and there's a good chance you will have lost interest early on and more than that your just betting against yourself.

 

Horses are crazy but I never do well with golf I had Luke Donald for the Masters, I saw you got Bubba right. I couldn't work out what would make you want to go with him though apart from his ridiculously long drive.

 

and how can you do each way in this,they either win or they dont

 

Makes sense to do it on horses with high odds.

 

Big field with long odds and they pay first four. That's why.

 

I think I am the only person who has no interest in the Grand National. Its just horse racing, a sport that isnt actually a sport.

 

**** horses

 

All of mine went down

 

Why is it not a sport? Too much carnage there first lap, became a lottery. Good horse won it though.
